lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the EU must be a peace organisation and not an arms dealer. The EU should therefore not sell weapons at all, especially not to countries that are in danger of using them in wars. Given that logic, we should not, in the first place, sell weapons to the United States, but not to China either. My ‘no’ to arms exports to China is not only directed against China, but is the expression of a general principle. Everything that has been said in this House about China is true, but there are also positive things. For example, a dialogue has been opened with representatives of the Dalai Lama, about which the Dalai Lama himself is very hopeful. Such a small step is obviously not enough to change the general picture. It would therefore be quite wrong to remove the arms embargo against China, but do not forget that there are also other countries to which we should not sell weapons."@en1
